Mark Whiteley is a British venous surgeon. In 1995 he became a lecturer at Oxford University. In 2001 he founded The Whiteley Clinic in Guildford, Surrey.[1]
Education and early medical career
Whiteley qualified as a doctor at St Bartholomew's Hospital London in 1986. Following training as a surgeon, in 1992 he began specializing in vascular surgery. In 1994 he completed work for a Masters in Surgery, and became a lecturer at Oxford University in 1995. In 1998 he was appointed a consultant vascular surgeon in Guildford In 2013 Whiteley was named a Visiting Professor at the University of Surrey.[2]
The Whiteley Clinic
In July 2001 Whiteley founded The Whiteley Clinic where he continued his surgical career.[3] Founded on the Surrey Research Park in Guildford, in 2014 the clinic expanded into London[4] and Bristol.[5]
Varicose veins surgery
Whiteley developed the keyhole technique for addressing vein removal, which reduced recovery time from a few weeks to a few days.[6] In 2004 Whiteley was the first UK physician to describe the endovenous heat-induced thrombosis for the treatment of varicose veins.[7] In 2010 he called for the end of varicose vein stripping in the national media, pointing out the advantages of endovenous laser or "endovenous thermoablation"[8] which 3 and a half years later became the Clinical Guidance from NICE (National Institute of Health and Clinical Evidence) CG 168.[9]
Incompetent Perforating Veins
The role of the incompetent perforator vein in varicose veins and venous disease is controversial. Whiteley showed an association between incompetent perforating veins and recurrent varicose veins in 2001[10] and in the same year developed the TRansLuminal Occlusion of Perforator (TRLOP)[11] technique to treat them minimally invasively. The TRLOP technique was copied and renamed "Percutaneous Ablation of Perforators" (PAPs) in 2007[12] despite the five year results of TRLOP being published shortly afterwards.[13] The apparent attempt to rename and hence take credit for describing the TRLOP technique surfaced in published form with a letter written by Whiteley to Phlebology.[14] Regardless of the name given to the TRLOP technique, the controversy as to whether incompetent perforating veins need treating in patients with varicose veins continues and Professor Whiteley was invited to document his views in a published "transatlantic debate" in September 2014.[15]
Pelvic congestion syndrome and Pelvic Vein Embolisation
In 2000, Whiteley made the association between some leg varicose veins and pelvic venous reflux (PVR). With his team, Whiteley popularised transvaginal duplex ultrasound to diagnose the pelvic vein reflux and pelvic vein embolisation as the treatment of choice.[16] Along with Alice Whiteley, his daughter and also one of the Whiteley Clinic Summer Research Fellows in 2012, they identified that untreated pelvic vein reflux was a common cause of recurrent varicose veins.[17]
Primary Avalvular Varicose Anomalies (PAVA)
In 2013, Whiteley and his team described a new sort of vein associated with varicose veins. Primary Avalvular Varicose Anomalies (PAVA) are fine, refluxing, veins that run around other veins in the leg and are often associated with Pelvic Vein Reflux. They can cause recurrent varicose veins if not recognised and treated at the time of the varicose vein surgery and can be incorrectly diagnosed as neo-vascular tissue.[18]
Media
Whiteley has been a guest on BBC in discussions of his work with curing varicose veins and over-active sweat glands.[19][20][21][22] He has also been interviewed about his personal medical philosophy and the reasons not to have surgery.[23] Whiteley self-published the book Understanding Venous Reflux - the cause of varicose veins and venous leg ulcers in 2011.[24] Since December 2012, Whiteley has been a blogger about varicose veins, leg ulcers and venous surgery on the Huffington Post.[25] Whiteley was named the Toast of Surrey "Business Personality of the Year" in 2012.[26]
